Dynasty Value Score (DVS)
429
Range 354–504
Based on 2025 production and our 2026 projection
Rookie capital play — the score leans on draft pedigree and the projection, not a long NFL sample.
DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Player quality
Why this DVS moved off a raw projection.
Combine ×1.01
Athletic composite 6.1/10 (RAS-like; fades after year 2).
Org environment ×1.01
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
HoldGolday had 1 solo tackles in 2026, finishing LB172. Only 1 games in 2026 — availability is the headline. Don't pay for a bounce from the 2026 projection alone. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
